Is Pilates for you?

Do you feel stiff, unfit and lacking strength? Maybe you are struggling with your busy life, sitting at a desk too long and just not moving enough anymore. Or perhaps you are too stressed, too busy and needing a little time to relax. Just not as flexible and strong as you used to be and you would like to start feeling younger and fitter again.

Pilates can help. Pilates helps you to work on your flexibility, strength, core muscles and balance. It is also a great way to relax and enjoy a peaceful hour with others who are like minded. If you are looking for a workout solution to help you get the results you want, to feel fitter, stronger and more flexible then come and join our Barry Pilates community and start moving better and more easily.

We have something for everyone, a new complete beginners Pilates class starting in January 2024, 10 existing classes a week and even online classes if you can’t make it to the hall.

What is Pilates?

Pilates gives you a whole body workout. It is a gentle form of exercises performed slowly working with the breath. It is suitable for a wide variety of people as the exercises can be modified for different people. Participants age varies from 20 to 80+, all are welcome. All the Pilates I teach is mat based and is practiced standing or lying on the mat.

The exercises are designed to help you to stretch, strengthen and improve muscle balance and tone. Working on your posture, balance and flexibility and of course Pilates promotes a stronger more supportive core and pelvic floor.

The weekly classes are a great way to keep yourself accountable and to make sure you keep up your exercise and motivation. I will always teach you new things and every month the class routine changes to keep it fresh and interesting.
